Re: Would that be justice?

So do you think the family should sue, and would that be justice? Has justice been done, and how much money is an 84‑year‑old Asian man's life worth? If it had been YOUR 84-year-old grandfather, would you be asking these same silly questions?   Hell, you'd have probably been holding out for "Murder...

Re: On the subject of voting

When asked why he was voting by mail, he said, "Because I'm the king the President of the United States."    Seriously.

Just wait until the lawsuits start coming in on sites like Fanduel, Draftkings, Fanatics Sportsbook, and all the rest — because if this stands, you KNOW there's countless losers out there who are going come looking. https://www.picgifs.com/emoticons/smileys-and-emoticons/cycling/smileys-cycling-0223...

Re: Ciboire à deux réservoirs, is EVERYONE a sexual predator?

Well quite so. But the issue was a proposal to name a public street after C Chavez and some folks did object to celebrating a person who'd (allegedly) done a lot of bad things. Honoring people with feet of clay don''t seem to bother MAGA-rats.   Here in Wisconsin — Washington County, to be precise,...

Re: You really, really, REALLY couldn't make this shit up

Somebody should tell Trump he is going to die on a national holiday. When he asks, "Which one?  The 4th of July?   Memorial Day?   Veteran's Day?" — tell him "It doesn't matter.   The day you croak will automatically be a national holiday." https://www.picgifs.com/emoticons/smileys-and-emoticons/cyc...

Re: Stolen or Conquered Land

But here’s the part people avoid: America wasn’t “stolen” in the legal or historical sense—it was conquered. Throughout nearly all of human history, conquest was a universally recognized method of acquiring territory. This wasn’t unique to Europeans; it was practiced in Europe, Asia, Africa, and th...

Re: Ciboire à deux réservoirs, is EVERYONE a sexual predator?

All I'll say is — a half-century after the fact, and the alleged suspect is dead and unable to defend himself.
At this point, does it really matter?

Re: USA & Israel launch illegal war on Iran

And in Iraq, our mistake was the president listening to Colin Powell when he said, “If you break it, you own it.” That is very bad advice. We should have just broken it and left. As soon as Saddam Hussein had been taken care of, we should have pulled out the next day and let them fix their own prob...

Re: Revisiting the standard time vs. daylight saving time debate

Best explanation I ever heard of the fallacy of Daylight Savings Time went something like this — You have a rug that is six feet long. You cut a foot off of one end of the rug and stitch it onto the other end. Then you convince yourself that the rug is now seven feet long. https://www.picgifs.com/em...

Re: USA & Israel launch illegal war on Iran

Just a thought here — When Japan launched a surprise air strike against United States assets and resources in Hawaii back in December 1941, it was described as a "day that would live in infamy", and was quickly followed by a declaration of all-out war, which dragged on for four years and ended only ...
